Why You Will Need To Register Your Land Title Deed Afresh

The Ministry of Lands and Physical Planning will soon be registering, a fresh, all Land title deeds in the country.

This is in what the Ministry notes that is a move aimed at curbing fraud that has been on the rise in the sector, even as it also seeks to enhance efficiency.

Fresh registration of title deeds is also part of the ongoing process to shift administration and management of land to new laws. Under the new laws, title deeds will be handled under the Land Registration Act (2012).

Currently, land issues are being handled under the Registered Land Act (RLA), the Registration of Titles Act (RTA), the Land Titles Act (LTA), and the Government Lands Act (GLA) all which have now been repealed.

This means all the old title deeds will have to be replaced, so as to be inline with the new laws.

“All transactions or dealings relating to parcels within the registration unit shall from April 1,2021 be carried out in the new registers,” Lands Cabinet Secretary Farida Karoney said, in a statement.

“Each of these pieces of legislation created its own register, making land registration complex. The confusion occasioned by the different regimes has become a breeding ground for fraud, delays in service delivery, centralisation of land services and threats to the right to property,” the CS added.

With the new law governing land issues coming into force, the Ministry of Lands notes that all the current titles will be cancelled and new ones issued. Ownership of land, size and other interests registered against each of the titles will, however, be retained.

For title deeds that are being held by third parties such as banks, hospitals and hospitals, they will have to be replaced.

Under the new arrangement, the Land ministry will utilise the Registry Index Maps (RIMs) as a reference, replacing the deed plans, further minimising land fraud.

RIMs display all land parcels within an area as opposed to a deed plan that captures data on one specific parcel.

Lands CS notes that it is easy to note any change or alteration under this system. Boundaries will also not be affected as RIMs are generated from survey plans which have fixed boundaries.

In case a landowner wants to verify boundary details, both RIMs and the survey plans are accessible at the Survey of Kenya Headquarters in Ruaraka, Nairobi.
